Although many people like using anti-aging cleansers, serums, toners, and moisturizers, it’s no secret that OTC products might not be effective at some point if your main objective is to prevent wrinkles and fine lines from forming. After all, retinol and hyaluronic acid can only do so much. Fortunately, some injectables such as Dysport exist to make the anti-aging process more effective.
You may or may not have heard about it – therefore, this post will discuss everything that you need to know regarding this anti-aging neurotoxin, including what exactly it is, where it’s treated, who makes it, other medical treatments that Dysport can be used for, and so much more. Keep reading to find out.
Just like Botox, Dysport (also known as abobotulinumtoxinA) is a neurotoxin injectable that’s approved by the FDA and it’s designed to delay the formation of wrinkles temporarily. It works by minimizing the activity of the muscles; thus, preventing the skin from folding on itself and forming wrinkles.
As human beings age, fine lines begin to become more distinct since the skin loses collagen as well as other protein fibers that are responsible for maintaining the skin’s elasticity. Dysport works to prevent your nerve signals from reaching the facial muscles and paralyzing them. It heals the targeted muscles and restores volume to the face for about 6 months after the treatment.
It’s mostly used for wrinkles around the eyebrows that are between moderate and severe, although it can be used entirely on the neck and forehead as well. Besides wrinkles, Dysport can also be used as a treatment for an involuntary contraction of muscles that results in lower limb spasticity and neck twisting especially in adults and children. This condition is known as cervical dystonia.
Dysport injectables are administered at your physician’s premises. Specialized doctors like aesthetic surgeons and dermatologists are typically the most suited to perform this procedure. During this procedure, the doctor could administer this injection in five places around your eyebrows and forehead.
To minimize pain, the doctor could apply a little amount of a topical anesthetic. There is a high likelihood that you may feel some pressure from these injections, but generally, the procedure should not result in any unreasonable discomfort or pain.
The entire process takes a couple of minutes, and most of this time is spent on preparation for the treatment. Unless you experience any side effects, you’re allowed to immediately leave once the Dysport injection has been administered. After this treatment, your doctor will provide you with follow-up instructions. These instructions comprise the recommended timeline for undergoing the retouch procedure after a few months.
Numerous benefits are associated with Dysport treatment. Here are four of them.
Dysport is not a popular treatment out there, and it’s common for people to find it difficult to identify a reliable dermatologist where they can receive a Dysport treatment. Fortunately, at Glow Aesthetic Center in Encino, we offer free consultation services to prospective patients and advise them accordingly.
We provide fast-acting treatment services, and typically, our patients experience significant results after about two to three days after the treatment. The forehead, elevens, feet, crows, and much more start to become smooth and soft, producing noticeable and optimal results gradually.
